Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookie Cups

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookie Cups

These consist of muffin sized cookie cups, packed with chocolate chips, a layer of peanut butter and more chocolate. The age old classic of Peenie B and chocolate make my heart sing. These cookie cups look pretty mega, but make a killer treat for that late evening sugar craving.

Ingredients

  • 115 g Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 50 g Granulated Sugar
  • 175 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 1 Medium Free Range Egg
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 275 g Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tbsp Cornflour (Cornstarch)
  • 150 g Milk Chocolate Chips

For the Filling

  • 3 tbsp Peanut Butter (Smooth/Crunchy/Natural all fine)
  • 75 g Dark Chocolate Melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Use oil to grease 8 holes of a muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar (medium speed) for about 3-5 minutes until fully combined.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and mix again.
  • Fold in the flour, baking soda and cornflour and fold together. Then gently fold in the chocolate chips. Use an ice cream scoop or your hands to form 8 balls of dough. Place into the muffin tin.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden on top.
  • Remove from oven, and use a small jar or similar (I use an egg cup) to create indentations in the middle of each cookie cup.
  • Loosen the peanut butter by placing in a small bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds. Scoop a teaspoon into each cookie cup.
  • Melt the dark chocolate and spoon over each cookie cup to completely cover the peanut butter underneath. Let set in the fridge then serve!
